I bought this on clearance at Walgreens, I have it in Super Rose. I actually really like the way it looks when I put it on, it's super shiny and looks like a clear layer that underneath you can see my natural lip color. The scent is also pleasant and not overwhelming. It could have better staying power, but for me this is a pretty good gloss in a good color for me.

This product has a different name now, it's Avon Solutions Plus Total Radiance Eye Gel, and it's pretty AWESOME. It only takes a tiny amount, so the little tub I have has lasted forever. I have a 10 month old who still sleeps really weird at night, and I work in a school (which means SUPER early every day), so I feel tired almost all the time. This stuff actually does make my eyes feel like they look more awake and less tired and droopy looking. I still feel half asleep every morning as I walk out the door, but at least my eyes don't. I can tell a big difference between days when I used this stuff and days when I forgot to. I give it a 9 because it doesn't make me look or feel perfect, but it's pretty awesome stuff.

Like some other reviewers, I had to practice a few times to get this stuff right. I have fine hair and at first used too much, so my hair looked really weighed down and greasy after a little while. But when I use less, like a pea-sized amount for the back and another for the sides, the result is pretty cool, at first. It would be nice if it were more re-workable, because after a few hours it's not really holding anymore and at that point, it does weigh down my hair. Overall though, this stuff is kind of awesome.

I really like the idea of this, and I am envious of everybody who has loved it and had nice gentle curls and all...but it didn't work for me. I have fine hair, and kind of a lot of it, and this stuff weighed down my hair like everything else does. I've experimented with using different amounts, and once I got a pretty good result after blowdrying a ton, but a few hours later my hair just looked heavy and greasy. The worst mistake I ever made was taking a shower the night before going to work, using this, and then sleeping on my hair. Not the best for me. :(

This foundation is really good for the price...it goes on smooth and creamy, with awesome coverage, but not too shiny, and it blends super well. It also has a pleasant vanilla-y scent to it. My only gripe is that it doesn't last as long as I'd like...by mid afternoon my nose is all shiny and I need to go powder it. Overall though, good foundation :)

I love Neutrogena's lotions and stuff, and I've used this moisturizer off and on in the winter. I like the way it goes on, and I like the smell, but I don't think it absorbs all the way in. It feels like it does right after putting it on, but later in the day I notice that my skin is kind of sticky with it, which is kind of obnoxious. Other than that, pretty good stuff.

Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Parisienne Eau de Parfum Spray
Mediocre...I hope they don't charge a bunch for it!
I received this as a sample, which I was stoked about. I thought it smelled pretty yummy in the package, kind of sweet but a little bit woodsy and pretty modern and not too old-lady-ish, and it smells a lot like one of my fave perfumes. Buuuuuut...when I actually wore it, I was disappointed. I sprayed it on a couple of times, but by the time I left the house I couldn't smell it at all. I could smell my deodorant, but not this perfume. I work with a lady who will always compliment you on your new haircut or eyeshadow color or whatever, and I purposefully stood really close to her at one point today to see if she would say anything, and she didn't. So that's when I knew that the total lack of staying power isn't all in my head. The 5 stars are for a fragrance I really enjoy, but -5 because I think you might have to bathe in this stuff for the fragrance to be noticeable, and I just don't have the money for that.

I have been using this conditioner, along with the shampoo, for several weeks now. At first I was pretty happy with them, but for the last couple of weeks my hair never seems like it's totally clean. I'm wondering if this conditioner is leaving some funky residue behind, because my hair doesn't look or feel completely clean right after my shower, even though I know I rinsed the crap out of it, and my roots and bangs are also getting greasy wayyy faster. I love the smell and the concept, but something's not working quite right for me.

This straightener was recommended to me at Ulta when I asked for something $30 or under that would give me more bang for my buck, and I have not been disappointed. The heat is adjustable so that there is a super wide range of settings, and it heats up crazy fast. It straightens my hair with one pass, and it also has an auto-shutoff which saves me many days of anxiety driving to work wondering if I remembered to turn it off. The only thing about it is that it has a red and green light, and lots of times the red light will be on while the green light is flashing. I have no idea what the lights mean, but it's always hot enough to fix my hair. This straightener rocks :)

This straightener is ok...I find that I have to go over some sections of my hair a few times to get it right. The plates also tend to snag my hair and pull it out sometimes. It doesn't get nearly as hot as other straighteners do, and it doesn't dry wet hair and make it straight. I also wish it had an auto shutoff, because I've forgotten to turn it off a few times, or on the way to work wondered if I remembered and then thought about it all day. Overall, this straightener is nothing special.
